Abstract
A system determines a set of POIs that are visible from a location. The system stores a visibility map for each POI. A visibility map includes data about locations or regions from which the associated POI is visible. The data may include information about how visible the POI is from different locations. The system divides a region into road bins (e.g., geofences a route passes through). Each road bin is associated with a set of POIs that are visible from locations within the road bin. When the system receives a request from a user device for information about visible POIs, the system determines a road bin that corresponds to the location of the user device, identifies POIs associated with the road bin, and transmits information about the set of POIs to the user device.
